Today was another nice day, spent mostly at the OCI area, more specifically, with Bill Dull and his Living Springs group. I talked a bit about opportunities to be of service in India with his team, and it sounds like what i’ve seen everywhere – that there are always opportunities available. What is God’s plan? I still don’t know.
Someone called Bill while i was there and told him to go to the NEST booth and see their animations of the Bible. I thot they were pretty good, and faithful, but i do understand the concern that children will think they are “just cartoons”, and put them in the same category as other cartoons. Using illustrations is fine tho according to what God said thru Ellen White, so i just cannot believe that there could be anything wrong with putting pictures together to make a “moving” picture.
There were several good talks with people regarding the 1858gc book, and i passed out maybe 20 – 25 copies again today. The “goose bump” moment which i’ve had every day here, happened today when i talked with someone from Oklahoma Academy, and he seemed to understand immediately some of the deeper reasons for the need for this book. Thank you Lord for leading me to these people, and help me not to pass by anybody just because they “look” like they wouldn’t be interested.
The man at the E.G. White center was talking to others about the Great Controversy book. There is a little exhibit in a glass case with some letters supposedly from Ellen White showing how she corrected the manuscripts, how others tracked down references for quotes, and how she was so pleased with the new 1911 edition. hmmmm. Of course to most people passing thru, this is all “yes yes”, but to someone studying what is going on, it looks like an attempt to put down fires or prevent future fires. He did say that this 1858 Great Controversy started to be known by the name “Spiritual Gifts Volume 1” in 1860, as that is when “Volume II” came out.
I skipped lunch, as i was having too much fun talking with people, but had some green pepper and bread heels outside for supper with a 7-layer Taco Bell burrito – yum yum. The Yes! Creation seminar for the evening was super basic, saying that the “Deep Time” evolutionistic theory does away with a compassionate, sin-destroying God.
amazing pics brother… just too excited to be there… God willing i can be there some day…
And there i see Bill Dull … he is always so encouraging….
